[00:03.52]These Friends of Mine - Rosie Thomas
[00:16.67]These friends of mine live their lives
[00:21.85]
[00:23.38]Spend their time, hoping to find
[00:28.88]
[00:30.23]But who they are and how they are made
[00:35.56]
[00:36.98]They may be there, hope you find your way
[00:42.32]
[00:43.95]These friends of mine, they have wives
[00:49.26]
[00:50.68]They work hard to love and write
[00:56.02]
[00:57.25]And when they left, it makes me high
[01:03.59]
[01:04.36]To take a trip ten thousand miles
[01:09.60]
[01:10.31]before they fly
[01:13.54]
[01:18.36]These friends of mine, they feel alone
[01:23.28]
[01:24.63]When the shows are over,
[01:27.20]
[01:28.15]don  t know where to go
[01:30.54]
[01:31.64]In Philadelphia at Christimas time
[01:37.49]
[01:38.47]They question those, wonder why they try
[01:44.37]
[01:46.52]And when the show is over
[01:49.45]How I hope that they discover
[01:53.00]
[01:53.86]the joy that they bring
[01:56.46]
[02:00.25]And I hope they remember this bond
[02:04.29]we have together
[02:06.78]
[02:07.63]And oh, they love to sing
[02:10.92]
[02:13.04]These friends of mine,
[02:15.00]
[02:16.27]they are from New York
[02:18.51]
[02:19.91]There were raised in Michigan
[02:25.00]
[02:26.53]They don  t know things,
[02:28.90]
[02:30.20]they don  t hold hands
[02:32.17]
[02:33.66]They guard their hards the best they can
[02:38.84]
[02:40.97]And when the show is over
[02:44.30]How I hope that they discover
[02:47.89]
[02:48.87]the joy that they bring
[02:51.89]
[02:55.23]And I hope they remember this bond
[02:59.20]we have together
[03:01.52]
[03:02.44]Oh, they love to sing,
[03:05.71]
[03:09.34]they sure love to sing
[03:13.04]
[03:42.48]Maybe I needed this time
[03:48.20]
[03:49.08]to be reminded for myself
[03:54.18]
[03:56.08]Maybe I needed this time
[04:01.55]
[04:02.76]to be reminded for myself
[04:07.74]
[04:10.69]How I love to sing.
